Appointment Field into Payment

    Your appointment field looks great. I am trying to use it so people can book different coaches for training sessions. How can I come out of the form and into a payment amount (e.g., if the person selects one coach, his rate applies for time selected, if person selects one hour versus half hour the hour rate applies as opposed to the half hour rate, if person selects multiple weeks then multiply rate by number of weeks).

    I am familiar with the calculation fields that then sets the value to pay through a paypal widget.
